With all the whining, complaining, and speculating going on, I only know of one person who actually returned his iPhone 4 due to the antenna issue. I still know at least 20 people who purchased them, and are happy enough to keep them.

Did you return yours? Do you know anyone who did? Or is this really a mountain out of a molehill, cause if you're unwilling to return something cause it's bad...then it can't be bad.

i was having lunch at Chilis over the weekend and i believe i convinced this college kid to NOT return his

should i ask SJ for some sort of compensation?

I think we're still in the stage where people think Apple will have a fix. It's mostly diehard fans who have phones now. I would say they're not likely to return it.

It's human nature to rationalize decisions. A lot of waiting in line, went through the preorder mess, or are otherwise too invested in Apple to simply return it. It still remains perhaps the best looking smartphone ever with killer features such as best screen out there.

While I am not happy at all with Apple's complete arrogance for a real issue that affects a good number of people, I don't plan to return my i4 anytime soon. I am able to reproduce the problem depending where I am at. Minus the proximity sensor issue (easy temp workaround), it's been rock solid.

My experience and feelings pretty much echo ghostface147's. I don't like the arrogance that is being manifested by Jobs and company, but the phone is still an excellent hunk of tech. I don't (or to date haven't) experienced any of the issues with dropped calls, unacceptable signal strength, etc, nor with the proximity sensor...

I converted from the BB 9700 for the iPhone4, and am still happy with my decision. I am far from a fanboy, but I do love this phone. And despite all of the negative press, all of my friends are envious/jealous of me and my iPhone4.

It's not going back, and I don't know anyone who returned theirs.

I know two other people with i4's and they are not returning them. I'm not returning mine either but my patience is wearing thin. As already stated a billion times by others, a simple acknowledgment of the problem(s) would be nice.

I returned mine, moved to Verizon. Hopefully the big red gets an iPhone (that works) in the next year or so.

A friend of mine returned hers, not because of the antenna issue, but something went wrong with her MicroSIM and it fried, but she exchanged it for another iPhone 4 and seems happy with it.

That is my feeling exactly!

We purchased 7 iPhones for myself and management employees at the office. Between collegues, family and friends, I know of at least 17 people that have iPhone 4's. Today at my staffing I asked my staff okay guys it is "D" day do any of you want to return your iPhone 4? They all just laughed and one of them put it very bluntly. "HELL NO" We all have cases so the reception issue hasn't really been an issue. Some of us are having the promimity issue, me being one of them. But like ghost I know how to work around it, but sure hope a soon coming software update addresses it.

I have also talked with some of the others and at this time I don't know anyone returning their iPhone 4's. I totally love this phone. I can't imagine given up the speed and that great display.
